Excerpt: "Jeff Bagwell wore a white cap emblazoned with a white four-leaf clover. It was subtle enough to miss, but appropriate when cheering for a franchise never known for good luck. ... “Nobody wanted us to win this whole thing,” Bagwell said on the field at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday after the Astros’ 5-1 victory in Game 7. “Everybody wanted the other teams, the big teams.

Thanks for posting that. I make it the desktop background on the Mac partition on my MacBook Air.

I just noticed your status message . Last night I saw a new shirt for the first time....World Champs as part of the stenciling, rather than World Series Champions.....and head likenesses of Bregman, Keuchel, Correa, Springer, Verlander, and Altuve, with their names, signatures, and donning caps with their respective uniform numbers on the fronts of the caps....so I bought the shirt.

Sports Illustrated could never have written this any better. Neither could Shakespeare.
